NSX Refresh

[Kaz-kzukNA1]

Hi, Sudesh.
As in my email, I would like to share the same information with the people on this site.

Addition to the Crank Pulley, the rubber seals on the Front and Rear IGN Coil covers are 'Must' items for me to be replaced at the time of timing belt service. In fact, there are lots and lots of rubber seals to be replaced that are not done by Honda standard timing belt service.

You need to be very careful with the rust on the IGN coil plate.
It will create tiny crack at the moulding and eventually, cause misfire.
Very common cause of issue on many NSX with intermittent misfire.

Some of the NSX used as every day car showed the misfire due to poor IGN coil only once in 2-3weeks period so you need to be careful if you see any rust on the IGN coil.
Depending on the timing, you won't see any issues on the ohm figure using the multimeter and yet still get misfire later on.

On the diagram that you posted, please make sure that you have collar #8 in place under the IGN coil cover.
You should have two for each cover, total of four per engine.
I noticed on many NSXs missing just one or even both collors and when the nut #17 is tightened on the coil cover, it deformed the cover allowing the moisture to get inside the plug hole resulting in rust on the IGN coil and around the spark plug.

Hope this will help.

Regards,
Kaz

As Kaz mentioned, please check to make sure you have the little collors, I have all 4 on mine.

Following on from my NSX-R Clutch and Joint Assy, http://www.nsxcb.co.uk/testvb/showthread.php?t=6991


I have got around to installing the joint.

Tiny bit of weight saving:

Fully installed

I haven't tested it as I'm going to bleed the clutch next.

[Sudesh]

After bleeding the clutch I didnt get a chance to drive the car, however from sitting in the car and engaging the clutch, it feels lighter! Not sure if this one of those things where you install something and its just in your head it feels different, but it does feel lighter. I'll know better tomorrow after a drive.

Also some people have asked me what my car looks like underneath [how clean]

So here are a few pics, I havent got round to detailing under neat this year yet; but its still looks pretty clean.

bloody hell mate, you could eat your dinner of that!

thats amazing, really well kept ... good to see the underpinnings of this car for the 1st time ... interesting set up for sure

you do keep that motor minter ... a credit to you for sure

if i can get my grubby mits on one, do you think it'll be as good as that after you get at it?!

[Sudesh]

Many Thanks!

That's it actually dirty at the moment, I'll be detailing underneath in the next few weeks hopefully when I get time and some good weather.

I can do under body detail no problem for you, but it's a very long process, can take a week and more for me to get it correct and also depending on the conditions the car has been used, which reflects the difficulty of removing the defects.

Sudesh, very shiny underneath, its so clean that it looks like its never seen a dirty road! When you do come to detail underneath, can't wait for the write up.

[Sudesh]

Thanks! It hasnt seen a dirty road's here or drive in any wet/bad weather, and I doubt it seen any bad conditions in Japan either.
I do underneath the car every year and a detail every 2 years due to the conditions my car is driven in.
This year I noticed the bolts around the exhaust have started to rust, [very common thing] and some discolouration from the bolts has moved onto the heat shields, it fairly easy to remove but I'm going to re-coat the bolts in silver or maybe I'll replace them. I can see a few small brackets which are holding cables in place, have some surface rust, so I'll either clean that up or replace. I'll also check the rest of underneath [front and back] for similar and replace where necessary.
